As we all know time moves very quickly in the Candy Kingdom and today is the start of their new adventure. They board the plane but where is Odus? He must have missed the flight.

Yeti has brought his tablet with him, so he decides to play his favorite game. Oh no, there is Odus flying alongside the plane! He really wants to join them but how is he able to fly as fast as the plane? He will definitely be exhausted by the time they get there. 

Yeti finishes playing the game and decides to do some googling about the official hometown of Santa Claus.

‘Welcome to Rovaniemi, the capital of Lapland. Rovaniemi is an urban city surrounded by arctic nature, where Lappish culture and a wide range of activities meet. In Rovaniemi you can visit Santa Claus and cross the Arctic Circle every day of the year!’ (Source)

Aha! Yeti sees a picture for the Northern Lights, so he clicks on it to learn more.

‘Witness The Northern Lights in Rovaniemi from August Until April - Also known as Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights are visible on around 150 nights a year in Finnish Lapland. In Rovaniemi, the spellbinding astral show can be witnessed in and around the city from late August until early April.

How Can I See the Northern Lights in Rovaniemi? - Catching the magical phenomenon requires clear and dark skies and a viewing spot not affected by light pollution, like street lights and neon signs. In Rovaniemi, you don’t have to walk far from the city centre to find a good spot, and really strong Auroras can be seen even with interference from artificial light. Please note: there are no sure-fire ways of predicting when the Auroras will appear, only approximate predictions.

 

Where Can I See The Northern Lights in Rovaniemi? - There are quite a few good places for viewing the Auroras near the city centre. The Arctic Garden behind the Arktikum museum is a popular spot a 10-minute walk away, and the top of Ounasvaara fell is another good choice a 45-minute walk away. Any location with no light pollution and an unrestricted view of the northern sky works – the darker, the better.

 

When Is A Good Time to See the Auroras? Get Notified! - The Northern Lights commonly appear between 10 PM and 2 AM but can at times be seen as soon as 7 PM. A show might last from only a couple of minutes to several hours. To skip waiting outside in the cold for the Auroras to appear, we’ve got the perfect solution for you in the form of an instant notification service that works in the Rovaniemi area: Aurora Alert Realtime lets you know as soon as the Auroras are visible.’ (Source)
